Ingredients
-
1/2 c frozen baby lima beans
1/2 c frozen corn (or fresh cut from the cob)
1 tsp. EVOO
1 TB minced shallots
2 sun dried tomato pieces, chopped
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. Mrs. Dash tomato basil (or any flavor you like)
pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp. Molly McButter
2 tsp. water
1 TB flat leaf Italian parsley, rough chopped (optional)
Tips
I'm a believer in using wholesome, real ingredients as much as the next gal. Take the butter vs. the imitation powder with water added thing for example. Sure, if I feel like tasting the deliciousness of creamy butter, I'm gonna use it. So why the concoction, you ask? Most of my recipes have been revised or created with Weight Watcher's Points Plus or calorie counting in mind. And trust me, if you are trying to diligently stick to a plan, these small revisions and substitutions matter. It could be the difference between staying in your point values for the day or going over. And that means a lot to some people. I aim to please!
Directions
Place baby limas and corn in microwave safe bowl. Heat for 2 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet with a tsp. of EVOO on medium. Add shallots, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until shallots are partially translucent.
Drain off any excess liquid from lima beans and corn mixture and add mixture to skillet. Stir. Add Mrs. Dash flavor of your choice and pepper to your liking. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
Add in Molly McButter and 2 tsp. water (or a small pat of real butter if you'd prefer and omit last 2 ingredients.) Finish off, stirring for 1 additional minute. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley and serve. Now you're gonna like lima beans much more. And your kids might too.
